'Orange is the New Black' Season 3 Latest News, Released Date, Update and Returning Casts: What To Expect From The New Season, A Balance of Comedy and Tragedy

Somehow, Orange is the New Black or OITNB reminds me of Prison Break - women's version. Orange is the New Black features a diverse cast that gives the show its unique quality. It allows viewer to experience television show in a different way.

One of the show's cast, actress Laverne Cox said that she is happy that the show is diversified. Cox said, "People are watching television in a different way. People are understanding that [the traditional 'middle America'] demographic is not necessarily one that we always need to target, which is great."

The actress also revealed that they are currently shooting the show's third season. The third season of Orange is the New Black features a balance of "comedy and tragedy." The theme of the third season of Orange is the New Black is "faith."

It has been confirmed that Laura Prepon will come back for Season 3. The fans will be happy to know that she will become a regular cast for the show. Orange is the New Black rumors has been going around that Mike Birbiglia will have a recurring role for the upcoming season. The executives on the show are tight-lipped if these rumors were true. Actress Lori Petty is going to return this season but it is not clear what her role is going to be. Mary Steenburgen and Blair Brown are some of the guest stars that we can expect this season. Again, there's no news as to what role are they going to play.

According to Jenji Kohan, Orange is the New Black show runner, the cast of the show will deal with a lot of bloodshed. The Orange is the New Black release date is on June 2015.
